Hello there, I have been a tad busy, so haven’t had much of a chance to post here in the last two days, but I have been quite a busy bee!!

I have another two Oggam sculpts done, the Demolitions Oggam, and an Oggam standard barer. I gave the standard a kind of Fidel Castro-esque look, as well as being a feral (I hadn’t done any thus far) The Demolitions expert is armed to the teeth with TNT, grenades and a combat knife (and a pair of shades) He’s Ok, not my better sculpt (Well, not my fave anyway)

All that I need now is a medic and another trooper (maybe a spotter with some binoculars or something)

Now, I have sculpted a little alien merc, just as a practice. It’s a kind of cat/rat humanoid thing that I have named a Criat (Taken from the Czech word for “servant” I think, rather apt for a mercenary/hired hand!)

Having just done it as a bit fun, like a sculpted doodle, I thought I might try my luck at getting it submitted to 15mm.co.uk’s SHM range. I can now proudly announce that all being well and it survives the pre moulding tests, you will be able to get your hands on the copies of my figure in the not too distant future. He has been sent over to them now and hopefully (I should think everything will be fine) you’ll be seeing it included in that range! I now can say that I’m a bonafide mini sculptor, and I’m sure that I’ll be submitting more of my “green doodles” as I have a few things I’d like to see made in shiny white metal!!

Of course I will be keeping you updated on my progress with this as soon as I know more myself. I must admit I love the idea of others getting to use stuff I designed and made on the tabletop, it’s something I think I would always get a kick out of!!

Oh snap, you sculpt these from scratch? I know some good model painters but you’re the first one I’ve heard of straight sculpting them. Btw I nominated you for the Libster Award. Details are on my latest post.

Yeah, I’m making them totally from scratch as I am going to make a whole line of figures with them. As soon as I raise the casting costs after I have the main sculpts done, I can send them to the mouldmakers and then they will mass produce them! If it takes off and people want to buy my figures, I’ll keep doing it and become a miniature company!
Thanks for the award, I think its customary from what I have seen to thank you and link you back (Formally on my blog of course!) and nominate 5 blogs of my choice for one too. Again thanks and I’ll get to doing a post about it! (first though have to finish some art for a client…!)

Busy, Busy, Busy… Well, as you can imagine, my lack of presence here posting means I’ve been busy and somewhat distracted with all sorts of things of late. Things have been happening that have meant I haven’t had the chance to update the site as much as I’d have liked to. I’d have liked to […]

So, with Osprey’s Rogue Stars ( Rogue Stars: Skirmish Wargaming in a Science Fiction Underworld (Osprey Wargames) ) winging its way to me through the post (yes, I succumbed to it in the end, the temptation was far too great!) I really look forward to getting it so I can have a really good read to […]

So, been browsing about, and I’ve noticed Rogue Stars: Skirmish Wargaming in a Science Fiction Underworld (Osprey Wargames), which has caught my eye with a prospect of getting it. I absolutely know jack s**t about it, only that it seems like an attempt at a mini skirmish game attempt from Osprey to get some of […]

Well, as the saying goes, better late than never, indeed we are a few days late in posting the mammoth load of Grinning Skull studios publications that were released last month. I actually think that it’s a new record here, which also leaves us only 31 releases left before we hit 200 Grinning Skull publications in […]

I have some weird ideas for wargames, and while most can be somewhat surreal at times, there are some that really stick in my head. A lot of these would be ideal games for conventions as they aren’t really ideas you’d use in a campaign over the course of a few sessions. These would prove […]

There’s so much cool stuff for 28mm wargaming these days, it almost makes me want to start the switch back over. The choice and availability for the scale seems to far outstrip the rest that for most, it’s classed as god’s own scale! Regulars to the site will recognise this latest KS from the […]
